Mental health treatment is often an important part of the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse disorders, because many people with substance abuse issues also suffer with a co-occurring mental health issue. The need for dual diagnosis treatment has become more and more apparent over the last few years, and many rehabilitation facilities in New Kensington also offer dual diagnosis treatment as part of a broader spectrum of services over and above conventional and more progressive treatment for addiction.
In most cases, mental health treatment involves the initial diagnosis of an individual's mental health issue, particularly when addiction is present. In many cases, the client doesn't even realize they have an anxiety disorder or are struggling with depression until it is diagnosed in a mental health clinic or treatment facility. Once diagnosed, corrective steps can be completed to help the person become mentally stable, and this may include the use of certain psychotherapies, counseling, and possibly medication or cessation of medication. In many instances however, clients suffering with a dual diagnosis are attempting to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol or perhaps misusing their medications. In these instances, rehab staff and medical professionals can review medication records and recommend actions which can be put forth to do away with the need for medication. Patients can be carefully weaned off of medications which may be doing more harm than good, or those which they are inclined to abuse.
